What Are You Listening To?

Been listening to these guys for a fair while. Who cares about the lyrics. I admire the bands conviction.

Sort of like Black sabbath? The band name translates as “Human chair.” After a book.

They're fantastic. Japan's metal scene has always been interesting, but it seems to be only recently, probably after Baby Metal's success, that Japanese bands are starting to gain a wider audience.

Yeah, there is a side of me that goes.. “baby metal” & “Band maid?” ( at my age? Hmmm.)

“Human chair”:seems more appropriate. (What is it with the “image.” I can’t appreciate music for being just innovative talented music. Baby metal may have been why I tripped aver the Human chair..(there may have been a “fuss” at the time? Ningen Isu are great.

If you are also into a. Bit of “punk.” You may like this cultural yarn… About a failed punk Band.. who some how. (Without spoilers…)

Blaze Bayley, who sang for Iron Maiden during the nineties, had a heart attack a couple of days ago. Here's wishing him a full recovery.

Saw Blaze a number of year back on the same bill with Di’Anno? On the same night. (They. Swapped slots?) not a massive fan until then. Best wishes to him. Life is full of “surprises.”

I liked this tune from “x factor.” Assuming it was based on the Micheal Douglas movie, “Falling down.”
The lyrics are uncanny to the plot in the film.

As far as I understand it the song is based on the movie. That and Sign of the Cross are hands down the best of that album.


Saw Blaze with Maiden in the Virtual IX tour, fantastic show.

I’ve not had the pleasure of seeing Maiden. But oddly I did see Steve Harris’s side project. In late 2021.

Which was interesting.

 
Oddly, @Carlos ,

I’ve been lucky enough to see Diamond Head a few times over the years.

& was pleasantly surprised when they headlined a JDRF fundraiser with a new front man & material…
This tune has a little “hark back” to the intro of “am I evil.?”

 
@Carlos , I’ve never been into this outfit back in the day. But I have tripped over this band live. They get a guy in that sounds like Myles Kennedy. (A bit to my ear.)

& it somehow breathed a new lease of life?

 
Got a soft spot for this band.

For some reason, I can hear early Acca Dacka. In this. Possibly a bit of Dio?? (Influence, as opposed to a direct sound.)

This song has all the elements. (I could be wrong.) still a great song..
